6 Miles, Big Smiles with Oliveira Lab’s First Hike of the Year!

We kicked off the year with our first group hike at Pilot Mountain State Park and it was the perfect way to welcome our new students to the Oliveira Lab community.

The trail was about 6 miles, with great views, fresh air, and lots of time to talk outside the lab. It was a fun, energizing start to the semester and a great reminder that teamwork isn’t just built at the bench.

Welcome to the lab, we’re excited for everything ahead!
